Biography
Elizabeth Wickenden, daughter of William E. and Marian (Lamb) Wickenden,
was born in 1909, in Madison, Wisconsin. She grew up in Montclair,
New Jersey and Boston, Massachusetts, where William Wickenden was
an assistant professor at MIT. The family moved to Ohio in 1929
when he became president of the Case Institute of Technology. In
1927 Elizabeth Wickenden enrolled in Vassar College where she majored
in economics and sociology.
Wickenden graduated from Vassar in 1931. She travelled and studied
abroad for a year before moving to New York City where she worked
for the Emergency Exchange Association. In 1933, she moved again
to Washington, D.C. There she held administrative posts in a succession
of New Deal agencies, beginning with the Transient Division of the
Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). When FERA was phased
out in 1935 she transferred to the Works Progress Administration
where she served as the assistant to Deputy Assistant Aubrey Williams
until 1938. She worked next for the National Youth Administration
(1939-1940) and the Federal Security Agency's Office of Defense,
Health and Welfare Services.
In 1933, Wickenden married Arthur Goldschmidt, a permanent delegate
to the United Nations' Economic and Social Council, whom she met
in New York. They had three children, Ann, Jean, and Arthur Goldschmidt,
Jr.
In 1941, Wickenden left the federal government to work on behalf
of the American Public Welfare Association, a national organization
of state public assistance and welfare administrators. For the next
ten years she served as the association's Washington representative,
monitoring and interpreting federal welfare legislation and legislative
developments for administrators and policy makers in the social
welfare field.
After 1951, Wickenden eschewed permanent employment in social welfare
organizations, preferring to work instead on a contractual basis
as an independent consultant to organizations, foundations, government
bodies, and political candidates. She was a member of the federal
Advisory Council on Public Welfare during the 1960s and President
Kennedy's Task Force on Health and Social Security Legislation (1960-1961).
As a consultant on public social policy, Wickenden analyzed and
interpreted policy and legislation, studied problems, helped formulate
goals and strategies, and promoted social action. She was in great
demand as a speaker and wrote numerous articles which were reprinted
many times and widely distributed. Among the issues on which Wickenden
consulted were Social Security and Medicare, child welfare, residence
laws, the civil rights of welfare recipients (particularly women),
and welfare reform. Chief among the national groups she worked with
were the National Assembly of Social Workers, American Public Welfare
Association, National Urban League, Family Service Association,
the YMCA, the Children's Defense Fund, Child Welfare League of America,
and the Field Foundation. In the course of her work, Wickenden wrote
and distributed bulletins, memos, or fact sheets on particular policy
issues, testified before Congress on legislation, lead workshops
and conferences, and served on committees, boards, and advisory
groups. She also distributed information about groups, issues, and
her own professional activities in the form of daily or weekly "notes
on recent activities."
One of Wickenden's primary commitments was to the Forum on Social
Issues and Policies of the National Social Welfare Assembly (later
the National Assembly for Social Policy and Development), to which
she acted as a "technical consultant on public social policy."
The forum brought together leaders of national, state, and local
organizations to discuss current legislative and policy issues.
Wickenden analyzed bills and proposals on public welfare and Social
Security and if consensus emerged, Wickenden prepared and circulated
a formal position statement on behalf of the participants.
In the early 1960s Wickenden became particularly interested in welfare
law, a new field which sought to use legal measures to protect and
promote the rights of individuals and families receiving welfare
benefits. In 1962 she published an influential pamphlet, Poverty
and the Law which cited the ways welfare agencies violated the statutory
and constitutional rights of clients. She was instrumental in organizing
the Project on Social Welfare Law at the New York University Law
School, which stimulated research and publication on social welfare
law and which served as a national clearinghouse for information
on litigation, court decisions, agency rulings, and current research.
In 1965 she was appointed to the Office of Economic Opporunity's
Legal Services Advisory 'Committee which established the Legal Services
Program. In 1972, Wickenden prepared an amicus curiae brief on Dublino
vs. New York State Department of Social Services, a class-action
suit which challenged state welfare regulations. Also during the
1970s, Wickenden served as welfare consultant and a member of the
board of directors of the Children's Defense Fund; an advocacy group
focused on the rights and condition of children. One of the Fund's
activities was to litigate on behalf of juvenile clients of welfare
agencies, juvenile offenders, and victims of racial discrimination.
After 1978, Social Security issues became more of a focal point
for Wickenden's activities. She became the director of the Study
Group on Social Security, which analyzed and reported on legislative
and other policy developments. She also helped form the Save Our
Security Coalition to lobby against program reductions.
In addition to her work as a social policy consultant, Wickenden
taught graduate seminars at two New York universities. From 1965
to 1974, Wickenden was a professor of urban studies at the City
University of New York's Graduate Center and also taught urban planning
and welfare planning at the Hunter College School of Social Work.
From 1979 to 1983 she taught a seminar on social policy analysis
and development at Fordham University's Graduate School of Social
Service. Wickenden also took an active role in social welfare issues
affecting New York City, where she had resided since 1951. She was
a consultant to the New York State Temporary Commission on Youth
and Delinquency during the 1950s and director of the Project on
Public Services for Families and Children at the New York School
of Social Work from 1960 to 1961. In 1962 and 1963 Wickenden led
an institute on social action methods, also at the New York School
of Social Work.
In 1989, Wickenden formally retired and moved with her husband to
Haverford, Pennsylvania. However, she remained actively engaged
in issues of child welfare, Social Security, and national health
insurance.
Scope and Contents
The papers document Wickenden's professional activities from 1934
to 1989 and consist of the following series: BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIAL,
CORRESPONDENCE, DIARIES, NEW DEAL AGENCIES, SUBJECT FILES, TEACHING
FILES, and WRITINGS AND SPEECHES. With the exception of some scattered
correspondence and some biographical material, there is very little
personal information in the collection.
BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS consist of resumes, autobiographical articles,
newspaper clippings, and transcripts of three oral history interviews.
The first set of interviews, conducted by Jean Handler in 1986 and
1987 is perhaps the single richest source of information about Wickenden's
early life and professional career in the collection. Wickenden
describes childhood and other influences on her choice of career,
the nature of her work for the federal government during the New
Deal, and her role in the American Public Welfare Association during
the 1940s, and most of her subsequent activities. The second interview,
conducted in 1976 by the Bancroft Library, was part of the Helen
Gahagan Douglas Oral History Project. It discusses Wickenden's and
Douglas's friendship and professional relationship during Douglas's
years in Congress, 1944 to 1950. The third interview was conducted
by Peter A. Corning of Columbia University in 1966, and discusses
Wickenden's involvement in Social Security, with an emphasis on
the history of Medicare. The newspaper clippings included in the
BIOGRAPHICAL MATERIALS concern Wickenden's professional activities
through the late 1970s, her husband Arthur E. Goldschmidt, their
children, and other family members. The earliest item is a 1923
clipping about a prize-winning play written by Wickenden at age
fourteen. The bulk of the articles date from the 1960s. Five photographs
include a portrait circa 1960 of Wickenden, photographs of her daughters
at their weddings, and Arthur Goldschmidt attending a UN function
in 1970. The photographs are available in the name file in the Visual
and Sound Archives.
CORRESPONDENCE from 1951 to 1991 consists of both incoming and copies
of outgoing letters and is arranged chronologically. These files
are important in documenting Wickenden's professional activities
but are not always complete: additional correspondence related to
a particular issue, subject, or organization can often be found
in the SUBJECT FILES.
Chronologically-arranged DIARIES consist of detailed daily or weekly
typescript accounts of Wickenden's professional activities from
1963 to 1984. Included are summaries of phone calls, meetings and
conversations, notes on trips, and events. This is a unique and
especially rich source of information which she frequently copied
and distributed to colleagues as a way of keeping them informed
of her activities and of policy developments. These were alternately
entitled "Wicky's Diary", "Notes on Recent Activities",
or "Summary of Recent Activities".
Memoranda, speeches and reports documenting Wickenden's activities
and responsibilities as a federal employee from 1934 to 1941 are
found in the series NEW DEAL AGENCIES. Files are arranged alphabetically
by agency and thereunder by subject or material type. The files
appear incomplete, and very little correspondence is included. However,
they do reflect her duties as a speech writer for high-level administrators
of the Federal Security Agency and WPA, and the focus of her responsibilities
on transient relief. Additional details about her activities are
available in the transcribed oral interviews conducted by Jean Bandler.
SUBJECT FILES document Wickenden's work for specific organizations
and on particular policy issues, legislation, and legal cases as
a freelance consultant. Subjects are further grouped into the following
three categories: Foreign consulting and travel; Legal files; and
Social welfare policy, reflecting the main thrusts of her consulting
activities.
Foreign files consist mainly of notes and reports on social welfare
conditions in other countries. In Puerto Rico and Iran she acted
as a consultant to those governments. A few years later she travelled
to Southeast Asia as a consultant on social policy and development
for the Welfare Administration of the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare. The files also reflect her work on a United
Nations' survey of world health and social welfare conditions.
Wickenden's Legal files contain correspondence, memoranda, notes,
reports, rress releases, and drafts of articles on welfare-related
legal cases. Reflected here is her interest in and promotion of
judicial means to reform the welfare system. Of particular note
are files on Dublino vs. New York State, for which Wickenden wrote
an amicus curiae brief; and the Project on Social Welfare Law, to
which she was a consultant.
Social welfare policy files document Wickenden's consulting activities
on such issues as Social Security, welfare reform, public assistance
programs (usually referred to as public welfare or AFDC, Aid to
Families with Dependent Children), child welfare, and unemployment
compensation from 1940 to 1987. These files variously contain correspondence,
memoranda, notes, reports, drafts, statements, press releases and
small amounts of printed material. Correspondence and memoranda
filed here may duplicate what is found in the CORRESPONDENCE series.
There is also some overlap in terms of subject matter, between what
is included here and the Legal files described above. The tape listed
with the 1966 files is a recording of the Michael Schwerner Memorial
Fund's award ceremony honoring Elizabeth Wickenden for her contributions
to civil rights and social work. Speakers include Bayard Rustin,
Norman Dorsen, Barbara Cross, Mitchell Ginsberg, and Rita McGuire.
The Social Welfare Policy files are further divided into two groups.
The first half are arranged chronologically by year and thereunder
by subject. These usually pertain to consulting positions of relatively
short duration. The specific issues and organizations listed here
also tend to vary a great deal from year to year. There are no chronological
files for 1975, and after that year the files are fewer and fewer
in number. The second half of the Social Welfare Policy files, representing
organizations to which Wickenden made more sustained committments
over time, are arranged alphabetically by organizational name and
thereunder by subject. Included in this category are files pertaining
to the American Public Welfare Association, Child Welfare League,
Children's Defense Fund, National Assembly of Social Workers, Save
Our Security, and the Study Group on Social Security. Material documenting
Wickenden's work as the Washington representative of the American
Public Welfare Association from 1941 to 1950 is largely missing,
however.
TEACHING FILES reflect Wickenden's professorships at the City University
of New York from 1966 to 1973 and Fordham University from 1979 to
1983. Materials found here include course notes and outlines, reading
lists, student assignments and grades, and correspondence and memoranda
regarding assignments, departmental affairs, and contemporary social
welfare policy issues.
WRITINGS AND SPEECHES consists of chronologically-arranged drafts,
notes, outlines, and final copies of articles, papers, reviews,
conference presentations, policy statements, briefs, and speeches
and related correspondence. The files are arranged chronologically.
Wickenden's more significant presentations and publications are
documented more thoroughly in the SUBJECT FILES series, where they
are listed alphabetically by title. |
